Back for 2015, a set of new images of a sculpture bust that I've been working on recently. The latest pictures show the early application of skin texture on Hyper Realistic Reconstructed Sculpture #8.
To begin,skin texture application especially on younger subjects is very challenging because of it's subtlety. It's more time consuming for me to do than let's say applying skin texture to an old craggy male because the texture I'm applying is done in subtle layers with very small tools. This insures that the texture is visible but not exaggerated. I do a lot of experimentation on every model I sculpt in order to find the right surface treatment therefore much of the sculpture will be in different stages of development simultaneously. It may look confusing to the viewer but there is definite purpose. This sculpture when finished will be cast in silicone so it's important that the surface be as natural as possible.
I will return soon with a new installment.
Cheers.
